JAN: Went to Marina del Rey for Jerry Lucido’s annual Center for Enrollment Research, Policy, and Planning conference at the Univ. of
Southern Calif., where I serve on the Center’s Board of Scholars and Advisors. The few days were stimulating as ever - even the late
afternoon break, where I walked down to the famed Venice Pier and enjoyed seeing the local fauna and a spectacular sunset.
SEP: In NYC, Mom & I joined many friends to celebrate Gene Young’s 88th birthday at the Century Club - with Laurette Feng, Shirley Young, Kaity Tong, Tom & Pat Shiah, Helene Chiang, Michael & Winnie Feng, Gordon Parks Foundation’s Peter Kundhardt, Jr., Rio Chang, Tracy & Stephen Limpe. Shirley led the family’s roast of Gene’s many accomplishments. Much dancing with instructors, Emily Limpe, Francisca & Clifford Feng. Thanks to Gene & Shirley for carrying on the annual tradition of lavishly celebrating their mother Juliana’s many birthdays!
OCT: At Cipriani Broadway, attended the Lang Lang Int’l Music Foundation’s festive Tenth Anniversary Gala as Board member Shirley Young’s guest, with Interlochen Arts Center’s President Trey Devey. Lang Lang Foundation Chair Sandy Weill - a fellow Cornellian - was at the next table. Our tables were up close for the many wonderful performances, included those by Lang Lang and operatic tenor Roberto Alagna.
OCT: Denise Sze was remembered by family and close friends - my Mom, Laurette and Michael Feng, and Didi Pei - in her son Gordon’s stunning Soho loft (with food catered by Chef Daniel Boulud), designed to display his incomparable Pacific tribal art collection. Remarks by Gordon, Denise’s half-sister Patty Pei Tang, Kitty Chia, and me. Glad to see her brother I.M. Pei there and looking very well at age 101.
OCT: Ate well with friends around NY. At Central Seafood: with Chester Mah, Henry Shum, James Wong for dim sum; again for dinner with Mom’s IBM colleague Jack & Heidi Adjami. With Linda Woo as Ray Chen’s guests for his banquet dinner at Chinatown’s Hop Shing. Tom & Pat Shiah’s Café Boulud lunch. James & Elizabeth treated us to Chef Sam Takahashi’s extraordinary omakese dinner at Hajime in Harrison.
